Transcript of Transfer SOAR Presentation

What does it mean to be EGR-TYou are in the College of Engineering, but not yet in a majorYou are awaiting a decision on being admitted into one of the 12 degree granting departmentsYou are working on completing the General College Requirements (GCR) for admission to your major and will apply in the futureWhat else can I get involved with outside of my major?What will we do today?What are my options?Biomedical Engineering Chemical Engineering Civil Engineering Geological Engineering Computer Engineering Electrical Engineering Engineering Mechanics Engineering Physics Nuclear Engineering Industrial Engineering Mechanical Engineering Materials Science & Engineering Biological Systems Engineering*NetworkFellow incoming studentsPeer advisorsProfessional advisorsLearnAdmission to a degree granting departmentMajor exploration Resources & opportunities CreateFind out how your credit transferredBuild your fall course scheduleGoals for your transition to UW-MadisonHeather MialikWhat does an advisor do?Who is my advisor?Supports you throughout your academic careerrequirements application procedureacademic support/resourcesany concerns you may haveEveryone knows mechanical engineers design and build cars...but that's not the whole story!Electrical Engineering

GCR is the MINIMUM needed to apply to your majorDepartments at capacity look for applicants that EXCEED minimum requirementsGPAKeep in mind...What will my schedule look like?FlowchartTransfer credit evaluationDARSFirst priority to finish GCRBalanceLiberal studies electives are courses outside of engineering, math, and science. (See page 11)The liberal studies requirement needs to be fulfilled before you graduate, NOT before you can apply to your major.Liberal studies courses are a great way to explore your interests & add balance to your schedule!Wisconsin Experience Seminar (CP 125)1 cr. seminar course for transfer students (section 018 Th 9:30-10:45)university/campus resourcestransition to UWstudy skillsless than 20 students in course

Transfer SOAR1150 Engineering Hall hmialik@engr.wisc.eduFor appointments: 608-262-4794OR Departmental Advisor Parallell PlanAs highlighted in the materials you received upon being admittedBecause department admission cannot be guaranteed, you should attend as a pre-departmental transfer student only if you are willing to continue exploring your interests and other majors. While taking steps towards your intended engineering major, you must make parallel plans toward at least one major outside of COE, thereby keeping your options open.

Cross-College Advising (CCAS) Service (608) 265-5460"You and an advisor will discuss your interests, transfer credits, and intended program. You will register for courses, including departmental courses if available, that will help you progress in the curriculum. After SOAR, if you are admitted to the department, you can adapt your schedule if needed and consult with a departmental advisor. You will likely need to make few (if any) changes to your schedule."Undergraduate Learning CenterDrop-in TutoringSupplemental InstructionTutor by Request (TBR)Who Is Here?Ask Questions!
